Adding to the 100+ murals that London Mural Festival has planned across London, together we will be unveiling two large scale murals inspired by BAPE®’s signature camo and iconic silhouette – the Shark Hoodie – alongside their yet-to-be-released footwear, the SHARK STA®. Designed by the talented artists at Global Street Art, producers of London Mural Festival, these larger than life artworks will capture the artists’ unique lens on BAPE® and their own distinctive fearless expression.
